<u>Ovarian activity in the jenny starts between 8 and 24 months of age</u>. This great variability can be explained by factors such as breed, nutrition, health, temperature and photoperiod. Seasonality of ovarian activity is variable and is likely to be influenced by photoperiod as well as nutrition and temperature. Scientific studies regarding seasonality present some discrepancy.

Jennies may cycle all year around in the southern USA. In Wisconsin (latitude 43°N), the seasonality of the jenny seems to be less pronounced than that of mares. At this latitude, 64% of females were found to be cycling in December. Seasonal anoestrus lasts between 39 to 72 days (Ginther ''et al'', 1987).

A marked seasonality in which 54% of the females present an anoestrus has been reported in Brazil (latitude 19°51' 06"S). Anoestrus season lasts 166.3 ± 63.2 days (Henry ''et al'' ,1987). Seasonality has also been described in Mexico (Orozco Hernandez ''et al'', 1992). In Morocco, our field observations show that the peak birthing season is March through May with some sporadic births occurring in February and from June until September. Studies in Ethiopia show that the rainy season (''i.e.'' increased
food availability) is associated with higher sexual activity, follicular growth and incidence of ovulation in free-ranging tropical jennies (Lemma ''et al'', 2006a). Ovarian activity in these jennies is highly correlated with body condition (Lemma ''et al'', 2006b).
